This whimsical, poignant adaptation of the hit Broadway play about an American army officer's experiences in Okinawa in 1946 stars Glenn Ford as Captain Fisby, who is sent to the village of Tobiki to instruct its inhabitants in the ways of democracy. While he promises schools and a Ladies League for Democracy, what the villagers really want is a teahouse and geishas. Marlon Brando earned a Golden Globe nomination in a rare comedic role as the wily native interpreter, Sakini. The 1956 film racked up six total Golden Globe nominations including Best Comedy/Musical and individual acting nods to Ford and Brando and costars Eddie Albert and Machiko Kyo.
